RMR Lengkap

This document presents the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system, which provides a methodology for classifying rock masses based on their geotechnical properties and rating various parameters that influence the strength and stability of the rock mass. It lists the key parameters used in the RMR system - including intact rock strength, quality of drill cores, spacing of discontinuities, condition of discontinuities, groundwater conditions, and discontinuity orientation. Based on the total ratings of these parameters, the rock mass is assigned a class from I to V, with class I being very good rock and class V being very poor rock. Guidelines are provided for interpreting the different rock mass classes.

* Some conditions are mutually exclusive . For example, if infilling is present, the roughness of the surface will be overshadowed by the
influence of the gouge. In such cases use A.4 directly.
